Answer 1

CONCEPT:

The capacitance of a capacitor (C): The capacity of a capacitor to store the electric charge is called capacitance.

The capacitance of a conductor is the ratio of charge (Q) to it by a rise in its potential (V).

C = Q/V ---(1)

The unit of capacitance is the farad, (symbol F).

CALCULATION:

Q = 100 μC

V = 10 V

C = 100/10

= 10 μF
